A man claiming to be ?21, from Hull and I?m not going to lie to you I?m just out of prison? is knocking on the doors selling something in our street in ED.

When I politely said ?no thank you? he said ?that?s very arrogant of you?.

I heard him knock on my neighbours door. When my male neighbour answered and said the same thing, the man replied ?thanks mate no problem?. The man was reporting back what happened at each door, into his mobile phone.


Very strange and unwelcome.

The man was short, with short brown hair.

He just knocked on my door too, I looked through the window to check if it was a delivery for someone else in the family, when I said no thanks through the window, he just said that's ok thanks and walked off quickly. I didn't see him use his mobile though.

I had a guy fitting the same description and the same story on Ulverscroft rd a couple of weeks ago. He asked me for money as he?d just got out of prison. I told him I didn?t have any cash in the house he said ok and left but slammed my get ridiculously hard on the way out!
We had the same yesterday afternoon - guy knocking on the door, prison rehab scheme etc. My husband answered and politely said no thanks, to which he was questioned why not?! My husband again said no thank you, I?m not interested mate, I don?t buy things on the doorstep. The guy stormed off down the path not before shouting, ?Thanks a lot you w***er!! ?
This has been going on for years around here - see also the 'ex offenders selling cloths' - imagine its not always the same person, but the technique is the same - there was talk about it being an organised thing whereby they report back to someone who runs the scheme - don't think any are legit.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
